I say this with a heavy heart.. earlier today my son took our Great Dane out to play in the snow... as he was galloping through the snow he collapsed and suddenly died.. he was extremely healthy.. it makes no sense.. I had to put him in the car in the front yard and take him to the vet to get him cremated.. It happened in front of all the neighbors... I feel like this isnt real or something... That’s awful.

Looking at Wisp it actually looks cheaper if I'm just looking for a condo to escape to for marginal events and then rent out the rest of the year. Hmmm... Look at Seven Springs. Their residuals aren’t bad and it’s conveniently close to I-70. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with a Great Dane and all Great Dane owners have unique tales of glory. The worst part about the breed is their short life expectancy. Losing a pet is heartbreaking. They are members of the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are pretty cheap -- maybe once I get a solid job. Skip the resorts down here and just leapfrog the whole damn east coast situation like I did. Plenty of stuff to buy up in the Whites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just talking about wanting to eventually move/settle in the lakes region. It’d be a long ways off since our jobs are here but I’ve grown to love NH (even outside the better snow climo).

NorthArlington101 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I can't wait to do some hiking (and more skiing) up there when my son and daughter get a little older. That’s the one thing that’s funny about me looking at all these condos in ski towns: I hate skiing. I probably just need better lessons, but I can’t turn or stop to save my life. I’ve got good balance and can go down the hills themselves but the only way I can stop is wiping out. I blame my bad knees. Lame excuse for a young guy but swimming took a lot out of them.

NorthArlington101 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 then why go into debt for a dwelling in a placed focused on an activity you don't enjoy? The hypothetical plan in my head is that it would be a snow escape/weekend getaway condo and then a rental property whenever else. Maybe I happen to get better at skiing. Or I’ll just snow tube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 aren't you in college? why would you tie yourself down that debt when you have no idea where your life will lead you?Again, very hypothetical. It would be in the future. Just was having fun checking out some real estate today, nothing serious, I promise. It’s a five/ten years down the line when I have a stable income kind of thing. Don’t think it’s a super uncommon thing to scroll through real estate listings and dream a little, lol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESNATC Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 First time poster, long time lurker! Really enjoy all the professional Mets and many others in this forum. Being on the mid shore just south of CAPE yielded a shutout this time around imby. But I’m excited for more tracking. Lived in Connecticut for 5+ years near Waterbury and I really miss those days. Moved to be closer to family. Oh well, I won’t bore anymore! Just glad to be here and be in the game once or twice a year, maybe! Lol 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I was just reminiscing about the awesome December 2009 storm. 11 years ago today was our office holiday party and I was checking the model runs between having drinks and fun. I remember a post by one of the Moderators saying "welp, it's just about time for the Euro to pinch on off in the punch bowl" and another guy (Ian maybe?) said "If this goes bad I will intentionally roll my car on I-70" The Euro run was great and we had no stress leading up to that incredible storm. I cannot believe it's been 11 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
